Aperitivo, literally meaning “to open your stomach”, describes the Italian tradition of enjoying a pre-dinner traditionally bitter and low alcohol drink, accompanied by small snacks. It’s literally a perfect excuse to have a sundowner cocktail and a lil’ snacky snack before you even sit down to make your dinner. Ahhh that’s la dolce vita! This tradition is all about winding down, being present and taking time to connect with the ones you love after your busy day at work. This summer we’re taking aperitivo one step further by making it as sustainable as poss, because la dolce vita only works if we’ve got a lovely planet to enjoy it on. So, sit back, relax, and discover my top picks of 4 Really Good Aperitivo things.
